The Boat House is situated directly next to the canal within a 5 minute walk from the centre of the picturesque City of Ripon where there are many boutique shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, Ripon Cathedral for some spectacular evenings where many concerts are held and a 10 minute walk to Ripon Races. There is an abundance of walks directly from your doorstep. 5 minute drive you have access to Fountains Abbey, Newby Hall, the Dales and Grantley Hall, with fine dining and Spa facilities.
Brimham Rocks is a 15 minute drive for the adventurous types.
The property is unique, giving much character and comfort for couples and families.
There is no on site parking but plenty of free street parking and a large car park at the top of the canal basin, which is a 2 minute walk away from the boat house.
Unfortunately we do not accept working contractors
